Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr. will host President of the United States Donald Trump at an observance ceremony at the Pentagon Memorial on Wednesday, September 11, 2019, in honor of the 184 people killed in the 2001 terrorist attack on the Pentagon.
There will be an open press event from the main press riser in the 9/11 memorial at sunrise (6:46 a.m.) just prior to the ceremony’s start. At that time, the American flag will be unfurled down the side of the Pentagon.
The Pentagon community ceremony, which is not open to the public, will allow the family members of those lost in the terrorist attack to honor the memory of their loved ones.
Show time for press interested in covering the flag unfurling is 6:00am. Coverage is limited to 10 press, who must be on the credentialed list. Only the pool video camera will be allowed. Slots will be filled on a first-come basis. Check in is at the media table in the Pentagon’s South Parking lot near the Corridor 3 pedestrian bridge.
